Madiba with Ben!!!

For the first day of alfresco dining and to celebrate the start of Dine In Brooklyn, Ben and I went to Madiba, on 195 Dekalb Street in Fort Green. Madiba is NYC's only South African restaurant, and Ben, a native South African, had never been. Long live DRY South African white wine and monkey gland sauce!!!
